Bob, depending your further requirements there are two RFEs (requirements) that you could consider voting for https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=viewRfe&CR_ID=57448 which is pretty much along the lines of what you're asking for. Unfortunately it wasn't created as public, so probably need to create another one (using 'public' is always a good idea). Then http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=viewRfe&CR_ID=73305 includes the capability of writing to a not active CDS. Of course you could begin with a programming exercise (IWMDEXTR was already mentioned) but you're looking for what could be done with existing means I'd recommend that you - converge (as everyone should...) to an XML format (sequential) service definition (i.e either use z/OSMF or 'save as' XML in the ISPF application - Use naming conventions to allow you determine the latest level of the service definition (yes, enforcing conventions isn't bullet proof but probably good enough) - Include the latest service definition(s) on your DR backup sets Horst Sinram - STSM, z/OS Workload and Capacity Management ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
